Chakalaka Spice Blend

Chakalaka is an essential South African condiment that can be served with everything from pap (similar to polenta) to crusty bread, stews, and braaied (barbecued) meat. Said to have originated with Mozambican mine workers in and around Johannesburg, Chakalaka is typically made with a blend of beans, carrots, onion, peppers, and tomato sauce.

There are many versions of Chakalaka, some of which include baked beans, cabbage, or butternut squash, but all are characterized by a signature spicy seasoning. With our Chakalaka Spice Seasoning, we’ve captured the essence of the dish’s savory, rustic flavors with an expertly crafted mix of red bell pepper, crushed chilis, and a fragrant blend of spices.

• Use to sauté vegetables for a wonderful addition of flavors
